Company Bio

Sony Online Entertainment

Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE) is a major force and pioneer in the field of massively multiplayer online gaming. The company's EverQuest line helped define and establish the genre, with ongoing story and world development and continuing expansion/sequel releases attracting hundreds of thousands of subscribers around the globe.

SOE develops, publishes and provides game releases for PC, console, handheld, online and wireless markets. The company is most known for its successful and cutting edge work in MMO development, but the company also has releases featuring single-player gaming and multiplayer party play (both online and offline). Headquartered in San Diego, CA, with additional development studios in Austin, TX, Seattle, WA, and Taiwan, SOE has an array of cutting-edge games in development.

SOE was originally owned jointly by Sony Pictures Digital and Sony Computer Entertainment America. However, in April of 2008 as part of a restructuring at Sony, Sony Online Entertainment was moved under SCEI to more closely align both groups with the strong growth of the worldwide online gaming market.
